Alterations in behaviour, cerebral cortical morphology and cerebral oxidative stress markers following aspartame ingestion

Conclusion The study showed morphological alterations consistent with neuronal injury and biochemical changes of oxidative stress. These data therefore supports the need for caution in the indiscriminate use of aspartame as a non-nutritive sweetener.
